Multiple firearms were found in a home in Riverside County after a 12-year-old middle school student allegedly threatened his classmates.

Deputies responded to a reported threat at Jurupa Middle School at 3:20 p.m. Thursday, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.


After responding to the alleged threats, an investigation at a home on the 5000 block of Baldwin Avenue in Jurupa Valley turned up three assault rifles, a handgun and several hundred rounds of ammunition, authorities said.

Deputies subsequently arrested the child on suspicion of criminal threats, as well as 42-year-old Rolando Sida Sr. on suspicion of possession of assault weapons, unsecured firearms accessible to minors and child endangerment.

No additional details were immediately made available.
